Hello,

I am trying to do an MPI_Comm_spawn under Torque environment. But I want to use the ssh launcher instead of TM interface since there seems to be a problem with launching large processes through the TM interface. mpiexec across nodes in general works fine but when I spawn using MPI_Comm_spawn to do a remote spawn on another node, I get the following error. 

mpiexec -launcher ssh -np 8 ./example

Is there a way to get rid of this?
